Brigette Romanek has translated her philosophy of livable luxury into a bright, breezy line of home furnishings for retailer Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. “I like furniture that’s practical—the right pitch, the right level of comfort—but there has to be more. There has to be an element of playfulness and joy,” says the AD100 designer.
Her Lucy series weaves Art Deco curves—think Eileen Gray’s Bibendum chair—and a dash of high-fashion glam into plush seating with serious come-hither appeal. Her LA collection likewise blends rounded silhouettes and taut forms for a distinctly upbeat personality, more timeless than trendy. “I tried to capture the optimism and light of the city I love,” Romanek explains. “To me, these pieces feel like a ray of sunshine.” mgbw.com
